The psychology of Bill Clinton as portrayed in the recent Vanity Fair piece “The Comeback Id” (you know, the article that caused the former president to refer to its author as a “sleazy,” “slimy” “scumbag”), reminded me of how I described my perception of the man in “The Shallowness of Clinton.”

I wrote that piece in the spring of 2002, back when Bill Clinton was still a darling of devoted Democrats and the establishment media.

It’s a bit reassuring that so many of his former blind followers finally see him the way I always have.

But still, one thing bothers me...

Did all these folks really not notice the real Clinton? For eight years? Or did they just not care because he had the “right” political enemies?

Bill Clinton was a pretty good con-man, so maybe I should go a little easy on all you former patsies out there.

You’re a little late to reality, but we’ll welcome you anyway.
